In an op-ed for CNN, historian Julian Zelizer, drew parallels between Yates' firing and the Watergate moment, called the firing the "Monday Night Massacre." Senate Democrats, he said, should see the latest events as a wake-up call.

"In his nominations, Trump has put forth people who likely will be mostly yes men and who will interact with a sympathetic and protective Republican Congress," he wrote. "Perhaps, Senate Democrats will see Monday night's events at the Justice Department as a wake-up call to slow down the confirmation of Senator Sessions before there is no one left around to place some restraints on the Trump presidency."
